Syria

My loop, my wings and my swing
I'm calling your bells to ring
since I have more songs to sing
"may God save you all forever"

When you come across the heart
fill its sides from part to part
buttress walls that fall apart
and fix your roots so deep therein

My memory, my country
My summary, liberty
My soul and my olive tree
Can't live without you, Syria?

Daily, I see the terror
spreading by every sharer
leaving souls with no savior
exterminating innocence

All monsters surround their prey
when brothers are in astray
leaving behind their right way
calling predators to come in

no one in the world likes war
Syria was safe before
The peaceful place all adore
The symbol for security

If I have tears in the eye
or have few days till I die
you'll have your chance soon to sigh
and tell the world that you'll be free
